Lies They Tell

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything here, but something struck me today and I decided I have enough time to put my ramblings down once again.

What I noticed is that a great many men and women are out to redefine traditional views on actions and characteristics as masculine or feminine. Nowadays it’s “manly” to cry and “girly” to drink yourself into oblivion.

But it’s not. Somewhere deep down inside all of us there’s this weird feeling that maybe men shouldn’t be sobbing into their mothers chunni, but instead be bold about their problems. Maybe it’s that toxic masculinity I keep hearing about or maybe it’s the fact that men are not treated with kiddie gloves by society.

Cultural Marxists often blame society as the evil puppet master in the clouds, looking down upon creation and tampering with it’s true egalitarian nature but really it’s not society’s fault that men are expected to be men (a phrase which I don’t need to explain, you already know what it means).

It’s biology which is at fault. Humans evolved in conditions where men for some reason were forced to be hunters. They were forced to have strength, cunning, agility and confidence. Without it they couldn’t attract women. Women in turn were forced to be caring, nurturing and attractive in a variety of “soft” ways. Couples like this had a higher likelihood of procreating.

Not much has changed, women still want men who are strong and cunning and the like, and even like sexist men more than they do feminist men. Sexist men also most likely tend to have bigger muscles (right wing men certainly do).

So when women complain that society thinks drinking or smoking is unfeminine it’s not because society has done any such thing. Women are complaining that they do not have or want to posses the characteristics that biology has laid out as feminine. They are complaining that they are insecure about their actions and behaviours and know that inherently there is something unattractive about it to men. The only way they can continue their behaviour is by redefining the paradigm to convince men that what they’re doing is expected behaviour – expected femininity.

Men who think women who are brash & loud, who drink too much, smoke too much are unattractive are not doing so not because society tells them these things are unfeminine, but because biology does. Women who lie to themselves that this behaviour is actually normal, acceptable and in fact superior to traditional femininity have only the warmth of a thousand cats and the shoulder of some rapist feminist men to rely on.

The future is traditionally patriarchal.

 

In Defense of Arranged Marriage

The purpose of marriage is children. I know I link to Darwin Reactionary a lot, but fact is he addresses the idea in such detail it is hard not to reference him. But perhaps there is no need to go into utilitarianism, let us discuss the story of Swetaketu instead.

Some meanderings on belief

While I have taken an immense dislike to Yudkowsky, unsurprisingly of course, perhaps since I view all “rationalism” as the first step to self-indulgent nihilism, I find his work on the nature of beliefs fairly persuasive. He speaks of three kinds of beliefs:

Retcon

I have had some concerns for quite a while about a certain phenomenon I have noticed about the “discourse”. As I see it it’s a simple mutation of an earlier Hindu trope.

A probabilistic model of karma – part 2

EDIT: Since I wrote this post, IndiaFacts has very graciously published this on their portal here. I recommend reading that piece since it corrects some errors I made in this piece (such as using rasa when i meant svabhava) and it is a little clearer and uses precise sanskrit terms.

A probabilistic model of karma – part 1

I have long been fascinated by the idea of karma. The notion itself is just built on simple empiricism (that of causality) but once you accept a single metaphysical prior – that of rebirth and the quest for moksha from the cycle – it changes into a beautifully complex meme.

Spaces

One of the greatest problems Liberalism has wrought on us, is the equalization of spaces.

Spaces are places in which certain types of behaviour is acceptable or better stated; where certain priors are accepted. The space is demarcated either physically or mentally by the groups of people who create and are then accepted into the space.

11 religious beliefs

If you were wondering what I meant by a framework, in my hypothesis of thinking, I am hinting at a religious conviction. Secularists, leftists, neo-atheists and the like all believe they are above religion in some sense and do not hold any religious convictions. Some go to the extent of believing religious convinctions are silly and outdated, the irony being that this is a religous conviction in itself. Let us go through some  of their religious beliefs:

Do you believe rape can be justified?

Human wisdom is finite. All that you will experience has been experienced by your ancestors before you. The rules that tradition has laid down before us are not ill-thought they were guided by years of human evolution. Society progressed in a certain way and within a certain manner under different civilizations.

The Spartan Dilemma

In the 8th century BC, Sparta conquered Messenia a neighbouring territory, rich with agricultural land. It was also rich with a labour force, that later came to be known as the helots. Now the helots outnumbered the Spartans 10:1 but were unarmed. [1] Spartans were known for their military prowess and it is not an urban legend that their newborn male children were subject to physical scrutiny for it’s continued life. Spartans killed malformed male babies, most likely because of their male privilege I’m sure.
